I am new to this site just need a Answers bout my dog.all of a sudden my dog is a male dog and he has just started humping me. A male human.why is this?
 
It's often a sign of anxiety or non-sexual excitement. In fact it is seldom related to sexuality.

How old is he? And have there been any changes in his life recently?
 
My neutered male started this at the age of 5 ...he humps when he is anxious excited nervous etc...
 
Repetitive rhythmic actions release endorphins, so it's often used as a comforter. Of course it is never appropriate for a dog to hump a person, so if he tries, prevent him quickly and firmly, then redirect him to a cushion or suitably sized toy.
Meanwhile think about what could be upsetting him, and work to build his confidence. Whether or not you have long-term plans to castrate him, this is not the time.
How old is he, what breed/type, and what is his normal day like? Have there been any recent changes?
